The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels

What happens
Skygge bokser er en film instrueret af Mikkel Blaabjerg Poulsen. Abdul Khattab på 19 er Danmarks største boksetalent. Han er opvokset i en flygtningelejr og er nyslået professionel bokser - i stald hos sit store idol Mikkel Kessler. I bokseklubben er han ikke i tvivl om, hvem han er - bokseren Abdul, men uden for ringen er han rådvild, og kæmper for at finde sig selv med frygten for at skuffe alle, der stoler på ham. Religion, familie og andres forventninger presser Abdul. "Skyggebokser" er en "coming of age"- historie om en ung mands dybe følelser og indre konflikt. Filmens visuelle følsomhed står i skarp kontrast til det maskuline univers, Abdul udvikler sig i. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
